Fox News Host Makes Wild Suggestion for Violent Homeless Who Refuse Treatment: ‘Involuntary Lethal Injection. Just Kill ‘Em’

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested the best way to deal with violent homeless people, if they refuse government help or are not sent to prison, could be to execute them.

Kilmeade shared his suggestion on the Sept. 10 episode of Fox & Friends. 

“Involuntary lethal injection or something,” Kilmeade said. “Just kill ’em.”

The veteran broadcaster’s response came during a conversation with co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Lawrence Jones about street crime, repeat offenders, and the slaying of Iryna Zarutska aboard a Charlotte train last month. The 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee was savagely stabbed to death by a career criminal who had more than a dozen violent and non-violent crimes on his record — something that enraged many Americans nationally, including President Donald Trump, who said the “animal” attacker should be executed.

Jones said the average citizen “shouldn’t have to live in fear” they will be attacked every time they ride public transit, and added that plenty of money has spent on solving the issue of homelessness — with little to show for it.

“Put them in a mental institution, put them in jail, and you guys figure it out,” Jones said.

He added, a moment later, that you cannot “give them a choice” on whether they will use government resources to get off the street or whether they are locked up. That is when Kilmeade jumped in and offered his suggestion.

Kilmeade then argued citizens in New York City, Los Angeles, and Charlotte need to vote for the “right people” who will be tough on crime. That way, thugs like Decarlos Brown Jr., the man who murdered Zarutska, will be locked up before they can hurt more people, he argued.
